18th April: My first script

Today I wrote my first ever script. I found a handy screenplay template for Word (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC010186361033.aspx?CategoryID=CT101445101033) and a handy writers' resource at the BBC website (http://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/scriptsmart/)

Jeanie was asking for ideas to help illustrate the concept of Natural Justice. Natural Justice is the concept that decision makers should act fairly and resonably in all circumstances. I thought up a scene where an enthusiastic rugby coach is encouraging his team to pass the ball to his "rugby hero" son. Jeanie & Neha liked it. I've sent it to Max for his opinion.

The four scripts I need to write next week are:

1) Gross misconduct ending in suspension
2) Continual disobedience
3) Independent nominated person
4) Natural justice (there may be a few other clips to write up)

I'm really enjoying this, but also slightly scared!
